Official Title: Use of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in the Treatment of Traumatized Permanent Teeth With Necrotic Pulps and Chronic Periapical Lesions
Brief Summary: Traumatic tooth injuries are common in children and adolescents, and often result in pulpal necrosis and the development of periapical lesions. Treatment of traumatized teeth with endodontic complications depends on the type of injury, number of injured teeth, root development and patient cooperation, which altogether will create a challenge and dictate the treatment plan for the dentist. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of non-surgical root canal procedures in traumatized permanent teeth with necrotic pulps and chronic periapical lesions using a tri-antibiotic paste and calcium-hydroxide as intracanal medications and two different mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) products for definitive obturation.
